Alstroemeria plant named &#39;stalog&#39;

ABSTRACT

A new and distinct Alstroemeria plant variety producing white flowers of good quality and attractive coloration.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Alstroemeria which is a cross of two unnamed, undistributed seedlings; namely, 89W875-1 as seed parent and 87G1069-2 as pollen parent. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Stalog’.

[0002] Asexual reproduction by dividing rhizomes, and by tissue culture, through successive generations in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Stalog’ are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The new variety of Alstroemeria, ‘Stalog’, produces white flowers of good quality.

DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION

[0004] The new variety of Alstroemeria hybrid is illustrated in the accompanying illustration, which shows typical flower characteristics, with colors being as nearly true as is possible for illustrations of this type.
